Public Health Nurse II - Limited Service

The Public Health Nurse supports various health department efforts to improve vaccination rates, health equity, and public health outcomes in Washington and Northern Orange Counties. The nurse will work collaboratively with an interdisciplinary team of district colleagues and community partners to identify immunization gaps and disparities in underserved populations through a health equity lens. The work will focus on both child and adult vaccinations and will entail working on systems-level quality improvement projects with providers to help protect Vermonters against vaccine-preventable diseases. This is not a patient care position. 

As part of the Vermont Department of Health, the Barre District Office is among the largest of 12 local health offices in Vermont. Located in downtown Barre, we strive to offer a dynamic, supportive, professionally challenging, healthy, and vibrant workplace where employees can learn, perform, and thrive as public health professionals. The Vermont Department of Health is especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the department's diversity and commitment to fostering an environment of mutual respect, acceptance, and equal opportunity. Examples of this may include a commitment to working with people from various backgrounds and cultures, including individuals with limited English proficiency and demonstrating the ability to promote and support diversity and cultural competency. Applicants are encouraged to include in their cover letter information about how they will further this goal.
